There Was an Opportunity to Find Out How Life Actually Works (About Myself as Part of the Generation that Lived in The Mid-80s - Mid-90s of the Last Century)
Аннотация:The wonderful and diverse world of the Institute of Philosophy of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, and then of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as it was in the mid-80s – mid-90s of the last century, is shown through the eyes of a graduate student, and then a researcher. Entering the graduate school of the sector of criticism of modern bourgeois philosophy of Western countries, the author combined his studies and the preparation of his Ph.D. thesis there with an interested work in the sector of philosophical questions of biology, since he dealt with the topic of the biological foundations of human behavior using the philosophy of American naturalism as an example. The author studied, collaborated and was friends with R.S. Karpinskaya, T.A. Kuzmina, N.S. Yulina, V.M. Mezhuev, G.S. Batishchev, A.I. Aleshin, E.Yu. Solovyov. Subsequently, work on the dissertation expanded, spreading to the topic of the relationship between man and nature, including in the practical agrarian activities of Soviet people. In this, in accordance with the spirit of the times, the central party bodies and the initiative of the People's Academician T.S. Maltsev played a significant role. Work with economists – E.F. Saburov, A.V. Chernyavsky and others, with agricultural historians and ecologists – V.P. Danilov, T. Shanin, V.I. Kiryushin led to the fact that the author in 1994 as Minister was invited to the government of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (Ukraine), where he had the opportunity to get acquainted in detail with the state and prospects for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the peninsula. On this basis, he prepared a program of agrarian reforms for Crimea, unfortunately, due to the crisis of presidential power and the subsequent resignation of the “Moscow government”, it did not take place. This text is about how it is seen in a quarter-century time interval, even though many friends and colleagues are no longer alive.
